Spring is just around the corner, and this means that fashion conscious people will have to gradually start the transition from winter to summer attire. For most people it is easy to differentiate between winter and summer clothing, but challenges arise when trying to dress fashionably for the transition from cold to warmer weather, and that is why we are going to work with you by outlining a few key pointers that will help you preserve your composure and fashion sense in the upcoming weeks.
Winter Armour
Start to store your winter gear (i.e. parkas, winter trenches, puffer jackets, flannel or wool coats) and bring out jackets that are constructed of lighter fabrics such as cotton, serving to keep you adequately warm for the spring weather. It isn’t quite summer yet so it’s not time to bring out the sandals but you can definitely store the boots for the next few months and opt for lighter tennis shoes and loafers. Depending on where you live you may be able start wearing short sleeved shirts. If it is still a bit chilly in your locality, cashmere sweaters are always a very stylish option for this season, but we have to tell you a little something about colour choice...
Pack away your heavy wool winter coats in favour of lighter cotton spring jackets.
Colour Matters
During the bleak winter months we see people wearing a lot of blacks, shades of grey and brown, conversely the summer months can easily be identified by pastels and warm vibrant colours such as starburst yellow and tangerine. Wearing such bold colours during the springtime may seem a bit bold, and that is why it is advisable to stick to earth tones (particularly greens), muted reds and darker shades of the colour blue. As the daylight hours increase and we push our clocks forward, you can slowly start to bring out the pastel colours which you so lovingly packed away in your closet.
A Word on Accessories
It’s time to store your heavy duty scarves and let them hibernate in favour of those fashionable scarves that are constructed of lighter materials. Pack away your hats and winter gloves, and bring out your leather driving gloves and stylish sunglasses.
One of the most important skills is to learn how to layer with confidence because this is what will differentiate the stylish from the unstylish person! Dress with many light layers that can be gradually removed during the day as the cool morning temperatures gradually eases into a more tolerable range. On a final note make sure to purchase a shoe protecting spray from your local shoe store that will protect your precious footwear from the mud and puddles that will be created from the melting snow, and an umbrella is always a handy idea in case of April showers!
